Labeling section views

- When labeling section views,…typically labels are placed…at consistent points in each view.…For example, you might place labels…at the crown of the road…or at the edge of pavement,…edge of shoulder,…or maybe daylight locations.…This is when we can truly appreciate our assemblies…because all of these locations are named.…All we have to do is tell Civil 3D…which point markers require labeling.…On my screen I have a collection of section views.…These were created from this proposed…roadway connection project.…If I zoom in, we can see that this road is a Corridor.…

Let me pan down to the sections.…If I hover, we can see that the Corridor has been sectioned…and it appears in all of the section views.…For this example, I would like to label the elevation…at the crown of the road, the edge of pavement,…the edge of paved shoulder, and the daylight locations.…Just for second, remember that these corridors…are built from assemblies.…Let me pan the drawing over.…We'll find the assembly.…Let me zoom in and I'm going to change…

Civil 3D is the industry standard for civil infrastructure projects, allowing engineers and planners to build and verify designs before ever breaking ground. In this course, author Jeff Bartels will take you through everything you need to know to be successful using Civil 3D. Learn how to manage design data and points, model existing surfaces, generate lot geometry, model roadways, incorporate utilities, and address common site grading challenges. Jeff also shows how to prepare designs for construction using Civil 3D's automated sheet creation tools.
